Maybe good for Hearts that. If Celtic are out of the reckoning, how likely are they to bust a gut to beat Hearts and give Rangers the league?

They’ve lay down before to Aberdeen to stop Rangers getting second.Maybe good for Hearts that. If Celtic are out of the reckoning, how likely are they to bust a gut to beat Hearts and give Rangers the league?
On the other hand if hearts are out of it there is no way McInnes and Shankland would lie down. They’ll bust a gut to stop Celtic winning

Do you have 1 or 2 Champions League places for next season. Having two places could be a factor.They’ve lay down before to Aberdeen to stop Rangers getting second.

And they'll have to play SIX matches to get into other 'proper'.Doesn't look great, that. Only the champions get a sniff at the CL.
2nd QR is 3rd and 4th week in July with the 3rd QR in the first 2 weeks of August.
Presumably there will be at least some players at the World Cup so that's a hell of a short turn around
It’s what happens when we have consecutive years of failure.Doesn't look great, that. Only the champions get a sniff at the CL.

True, I suppose. I'd love to see the format go back to champions only, but that's not going to happen. Too much money involved. Qualifying for the main stage of the competition (this new league format) is basically a licence to print money.It’s what happens when we have consecutive years of failure.
If Rangers don’t do it this season then I can’t see it happening for a while. Even with the so called Champions pathway the final qualifier is always going to be toughTrue, I suppose.

Is Nick Walsh considered a good referee in Scotland ?FIFA Have announced the 170 officials for the World Cup. Not one Scottish official deemed good enough and now over 10 years since a Scottish official was at a major tournament!
An absolute shambles!!
The England v Japan game all the officials were from Scotland. Thought Walsh had a good game, granted it was a friendly.

Celtic and Hearts both won. Over to Rangers tomorrow. Away at Falkirk; hard to see anything other than a Rangers win, albeit Falkirk seem to have had a solid season (6th place in the league).

My pal is shiting it. Falkirk are good and it won't he easy. Add in the pressure and its sphincter going like a rabbits nostrils time for the gers.Celtic and Hearts both won.

I was dreading playing Dundee and Falkirk are way better.

That is a sad state of affairs, considering the attendances and pressure that the big games provide.FIFA Have announced the 170 officials for the World Cup. Not one Scottish official deemed good enough and now over 10 years since a Scottish official was at a major tournament!
An absolute shambles!!
Shame for Scottish football that World Cup qualifiers no longer automatically provide a cluster of officials...
